Great Maple is a lively restaurant that offers a variety of dishes in a vibrant atmosphere. The menu includes sweet treats like chocolate chip pancakes, which received mixed reviews, and popular maple donuts, along with beignets that were great. The fried chicken is praised, with one reviewer calling the Fried Chicken & Doughnuts spectacular; the buttermilk fried chicken was crispy and juicy, paired with warm, fluffy maple bacon doughnuts drizzled with just the right amount of syrup. Guests enjoy the outdoor patio, where dogs of all sizes are welcome, although some visitors experienced slow service, waiting over 10 minutes for water or to be greeted. Many customers report incredible service, noting staff who are helpful, attentive, and passionate about making the experience memorable. One reviewer appreciated how the restaurant accommodated them even when they were late due to traffic. The ambiance is stylish and welcoming, with a vibrant energy that makes it perfect for weekend brunches or casual celebrations. The drink list is diverse, including delightful lavender lemonade mimosas. The environment can be a bit noisy, as many people dine there, but that is normal for a restaurant with good business. Overall, Great Maple remains a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or brunch, known for generous portions and delicious food, offering refined comfort food and amazing desserts, making it a fun dining experience in Fashion Island.
